Are the slats actually screwed onto the bed or do they just lay down in a channel?

The side rails and center rails have routed openings which the ends of the slats fit into. So the individual slats are not individually screwed on, however, there is no way for them to move out of place.

The slats fit into slots so they don't move and you don't have to screw them in.

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

Hey, Linda - Glad I could help. The slats stay in place - they don't make noise when the unit is turned on high, which is a HUGE plus. :)

I put a bunkie-board on the slats and a standard inexpensive twin on top of the bunkie-board. I covered it with a bedspread and put three inexpensive queen pillows with sham covers that match the bedspread across the back. I also put on a tailored bed skirt so I could use the space under the bed for storage, and tucked in the bedspread on the front and ends of the bed. It looks great and everyone who has slept on it says it is extremely comfortable. Hope that helps.

If the slats are closely placed it shouldn't be a problem-if they're more than a few inches apart I'd get a piece of plywood or other foundation to lay over them.

Yes, they screw into place. Best (easier) to keep an existing unit on the floor and buy & stack another unit atop of the existing one - which is what I did.

Slats. The slats are covered my a cloth, but appear to be about inch apart. It's difficult to tell as cloth is wrapped tight

They dont bolt together in the middle in any type of way. They only bolt at both ends if the bed. No plastic clamps either.

They do not. I have a queen size new adjustable bed; placed them correctly and it was a total waste of $$. I'm going to try bed, bath and beyond (in store ) so I don't waste my $$ on shipping back if new product doesn't work

I can go home and count how many there are, but they're wood slats, they connect to the frame by plastic connectors that pop into pre-drilled holes on the frame to told them in place. The way they're connected is super secure, the plastic is thick and sturdy, and the arch of the wood slats is comfortably springy without cracking or snapping. This is a platform bed, so it's intended to not be very springy. I have zero complaints about mine!

You could probably get away with just the slats if you had to. There are five of them. It's made for a bed with a box spring though.

The slats are screwed on. They are 12 inches above the floor. The entire unit must be assembled.

They are not in channel. They mount with very sticky tape. I have a 2012 tacoma crew cab and they fit perfect. Pretty easy to install. Hope I could help.

Does not include slats. They're not needed either. The rails have a small lip on them which a box spring will fit on.

Hi! These have an fitted flat. They aren't attached to the bottom sheet but are elasticized around the foot of the bed so that they stay tucked. Thanks, Jennifer

Strangely enough I moved my friend's cal king bed using them. It was really easy and we didn't even use them correctly. The bed will seem really low to the ground unless you properly use the middle hook for our heights.Cover the bed with some junk sheets just in case, but I had no issues. Ez

Yes. And the slats install onto the bed frame, not just resting on top of it.
